The Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2 release is built upon the same codebase as Oracle's well established product for mobile handsets, Oracle Java Wireless Client 3.2, Target markets well supported by Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2 include wireless modules for M2M, industrial and building control, smart grid infrastructure, home automation, and environmental sensors and tracking.

This release brings a commercial implementation of Java for small footprint devices based on the ARM architecture, including Cortex-M and Cortex-A, The implementation can be licensed from Oracle as source or binary, A standard binary of Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2 for ARM KEIL development boards based on ARM Cortex M-3/4 will soon be available for download from the Java Embedded section on Oracle Technology Network (OTN). This binary will install as a complete Java ME runtime on the development board, enabling rapid prototyping using Java IDEs. Support for additional off-the-shelf binaries is planned for future update releases.
